Thomas Bell-Wright International Consultants

Started in 1995 by Tom Bell-Wright, providing specialist third-party consulting to architects and developers for their curtain wall projects, the business has grown to be the major company in the region providing both consulting and full scale testing for curtain walls, and most recently the only facility capable of testing fire rated doors, walls and partitions, and flame resistant materials. Between our different departments, Consulting, Curtain Wall Testing, Site Inspection and Testing, Fire Testing, Administration, and Management, we are a close team of over 50 people.

Curtain Walls have to keep the weather out and the people in. We try to make sure that they do this reliably for the life of the building. Premature failure is likely to drastically reduce building life because replacement or repair is a massive undertaking requiring a vacant building, extensive exterior access and replacement of all interior finishes in perimeter rooms. For this reason prudent developers insist on having an independent curtain wall consultant on board for all their tall buildings. Extending our services to Fire Testing and to the Special Inspections mandated in the new building codes to be the responsibility of the developer, provides a greater range of beneficial services for promoting the safety and longevity of buildings.
